EDUCATION NOW
Working on Personal Tutor throughout the year not only helps students to understand what
they are doing but also allows them to absorb and retain the work in long term memory.
Furthermore, the system identifies knowledge gaps and designs a revision program especially
tailored to fit the individual student's needs. Although Personal Tutor was designed for
home use, without teacher support, the software is now becoming well established in school
computer rooms, where it can be used on a network or on stand-alone computers.
"We thought Personal Tutor would give the girls a bit of confidence in tackling
the subject," says Tony Mangan, senior chemistry teacher at Kilbreda school,
Mentone, Victoria, and most of the girls enjoyed using it."
"The primary advantage of working on Personal Tutor is that it allows them to sit
through and work at their own pace. So the slower ones are still able to cover the same
amount of work as the rest of the class. The computer also gives them the incentive
to stick at it and improve their score, resulting in a feeling of achievement. They
wouldn't get this sort of feedback from normal work."
Mr. Mangan.

HERALD SUN
Personal Tutor Maths is written by senior Victorian teachers and conforms to the
Victorian syllabus. It is an extremely valuable back-up for high-school students'
classroom learning. A great feature is that the program keeps track of the student's
progress and designs a unique revision program to improve on the student's weaknesses.
The system is very easy to use and is a cheap alternative to a human personal tutor.
It runs under Windows and has modest hardware requirements.

SCHOOL PC - BEST BUY
The strength of Personal Tutor Maths is that it is a teaching package. Information
is carefully structured and the program instructs by asking a question, indicating the
relevant information you need to answer and walking you through the entire solution
if you make a mistake. You can produce a report of your strengths, weaknesses
and progress at every stage of learning.

THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
Right now, Year 12 students are hunkering down for that annual ritual- the
HSC - alternating between cups of strong coffee and gentle herb teas. While some head to
floatation tanks, others party away. Parents, meanwhile, are tiptoeing past grumpy offspring,
while the Year 11 students look on with the greatest interest of all. They stand in the
shadows and spout a legion of promises. "No way am I leaving it all to the
last minute," and "I'm starting studying right now...well, next week anyway".
Such grand intentions often fail simply because the students don't know how to study or what
to study, or because they don't have the structures to support consistent study habits.
Personal Tutor's Year 12 Maths package can provide the structure and the material many need.
The program's strength is not in teaching the concepts, but in providing structures revision
for the motivated but disorganised student. It can also be a great confidence-builder.

The Maths Association of Victoria magazine.
The Maths package in the Personal Tutor series of Windows based computer programs is an
easy to use, easy to install software package which covers the routine elements of the
CSF Maths strands for Years 7 to 10 and is designed as a tutorial program for individual
student use.The main strength of the package is that the student is provided with a very
structured and systematic revision program for the practice of facts and skills covered
at school. Also the student is given immediate feedback and the option of being able to
view the correct solution after a wrong answer. Repetition is a key element in
the program and could motivate weaker students.
